Two girls died when they drowned in a backyard pool at that home daycare in a two year old boy was also found in the pool. He survived. Investigators say the children were left unattended in an outdoor play area. They then walked through a pool gate that was propped open. Abc seven News ReporterLauren Martinez asked a legal expert to evaluate the case. The owners of a san jose home daycare where two toddlers drowned are facing felony child endangerment charges. The Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorneys Office says criminal negligence led to the fatal drownings of two one year old girls in the backyard pool. Many times, prosecutors dont want to compound a tragedy like this by filing criminal charges. But this is very different than the backyard accident that happens with a drowning. What you have here is the highest duty of care to these children because they were at a daycare. The das office says a mother and her adult daughter owned happy, happy daycare. Detectives outlined a timeline of events on sunday, october 1st. An employee called out of work on monday. The daughter was the only caretaker since her mother was at another daycare. According to the investigation, the mothers husband normally waters plants by the pool. It stated, quote, while doing so, he propped open the pool gate with a clothes hanging rack. He failed to close the gate after watering the plants. The allegations say while the daughter was making breakfast, she let the girls and a two year old boy into the rear patio play area unsupervised and out of her sight. An with access to the open gate. At least five minutes later is when she discovered the boy unconscious in the pool and then called for help for the girls. So its not just one violation, but a number of problems at the daycare that compounded this tragedy. And i think that will be key. Its possible able the das office could look at filing homicide charges. Pool Safety Advocates say better state regulations are needed. The license requirements for daycare or home daycare operations with pools or open water are nominal at best. Parents should take a really good, hard, long look at what happened here because, again, this is not just about the daycare operators. This is about a system that enables these daycare operators to exist in the first place. The two women are due in court in december in san jose. Lauren martinez, abc seven news.

Maybe something measurable in the north bay. But overall, just that cloud cover lingering. And unfortunately for the eclipse where we get into that peak darkness phase at about 920 this morning. So think youd have to be in the San Joaquin Valley around fresno to really get a good viewing of that. Unfortunately. So weak, cold front moving through the area right now live doppler seven picking up on all the cloud cover. A few sprinkles well to the north around clear lake, east of ukiah, but really nothing to write home. About 64 this morning in san bruno, its 60 in san mateo, 59 redwood city and elsewhere across the bay. Look at all the 60s out there, 62 in oakland and hayward, some upper 50s in the north bay. So a lot milder than we have been and good visibility here for our live camera. But as the daylight arrives. 717 in a lot of cloud cover lingering a few sprinkles to the north and then some partly sunny conditions. East bay, south bay, for the most part out a little bit in the north bay later on and then into sunday morning, still some cloud cover. We get warmer, though. High pressure is going to begin to build in. But then another weak front brings temperatures down monday. So we will be looking at numbers coming up. Big time by the time we get to about wednesday, thursday. So lets go through the next several days as we look at this morning, a lot of clouds and a few sprinkles. But by the afternoon moon really breaking out into partly cloudy skies. So not a bad saturday afternoon. Temperatures near average upper 70s in our warmest inland valleys. Then more clouds to start your sunday and then by the afternoon again, some sun and temperatures climbing into the 80s. So thats a warmer day. Here comes a cold front for your monday. Once again washing out far to the north of us. Thatll bring some of the temperatures down. But beyond that, High Pressure builds and well be looking at much warmer weather, a little bit warmer for sunday, low to mid 80s inland, mid 70s around the bay shore. And then by monday, notice well drop the temperatures a few degrees. And here is your tuesday. Look where you notice the oranges coming into play. That allows for warmer weather mid 70s on the east bay and well see some 70s at the coast. Heres a look at an animation which we could see it right. A lot of cloud cover out there. It begins at 805. The eclipse and peak darkness at 920 ending at 1042. So other parts of the country having better luck than our neck of the woods. As for today, looking at 77 in concord, 75 in fremont and about 72 today. Downtown so its going to be on the mild side, near average, some sunshine in land and in the south bay, little warmer for everyone. Tomorrow the accuweather seven day forecast tracking a warming trend as we get to the middle and the end of the week. Another weak system on monday. But its High Pressure perhaps some breezy valley winds allowing for maybe some well definitely elevated fire danger but near 90 inland thats hot. All right well, wishing for the best and yes to deal with the cope with the hot temperatures. Yes, warmer temperatures we do in october. Yeah, exactly. Lisa thank you so much.

So seven on your sides Michael Finney has some ways to save for you travelers. Thats after the break my wife magda and i have been married for 39 years. About three or four years ago, i wasnt feeling as if i was as sharp as i used to be. I wanted to try something that was overthecounter. I saw the prevagen commercials.

Were talking with the experts to find out when to book and how much you can save. Tune in. But they say you should book this weekend. Thats all ahead here on gma. Yeah, were all thinking about travel, right . Thats top of mind. And there are more online sites to Book Hotel Rooms than ever before. So were asking the question, why does it seem like all the prices are the same . Seven on your sides Michael Finney has been looking into that and tells you the few ways left to get a deal. Searching online for a great Hotel Room Rate has become an obsession for many travelers. So bay area consumers checkbook decided to look at those deal sites and see what they would find after doing 2000 searches. We found basically we were, for the most part, wasting our time that most of the prices we saw over and over again, no matter which website we went to, whether we called the hotel desk directly, whether we visited the hotels website, did a quick check this morning looking to book a room at the fairmont in San Francisco for two days later this month at the hotels website. The price was 371. 50 a night. A travelocity, 0. 50 more at 372 and a kayak, which promises to check hundreds of sites. The price was the same 372. Most of those websites are owned by one of two companies. One is expedia, the other is booking holdings. And they, together with hotels, have come up with agreements that essentially say theyre all going to charge the same prices for the same stays across all the different booking platforms as yesterday. I was talking with tourists visiting San Francisco. So when i ran into a dallas man in the hotel business, he confirms those arrangements. They said there was no difference in prices anymore, which is absolutely correct. Why is that . Because as the brands dictate that to us, we cant have different price points at different websites. Now there are a handful of ways to get a discount. One is to book a Nonrefundable Hotel Room a bit risky, but there are discounts of around 10. You can sign up for a Loyalty Program at a hotel, which sometimes can get you a 10 discount. Costco travel has discounted rooms, but it is fairly limited checkbooks. Brasler says the best prices are the mystery deals found on priceline and hotwire, where you dont know the exact hotel until after you have booked and paid. The reason i think these these deals are worth looking at is that it was the only way we significantly cut our costs on average, we found that booking one of these mystery deals saved us about 25 to 30 off. Most our stays. Im Michael Finney. Seven on your side when we return on abc seven mornings, were following the news in the middle east.

Amy appleton created the program which acts as landlord and property manager. Residents pay what they can in rent based on their income. Each house has a case manager to help tenants with medical financial or employment needs. They check on me if im having problems and issues, theyll tell me to come to the office or theyll come here. Amy appleton says she started small several years ago with just one house today. Believe it or not, shes got 22 homes and more than 80 clients since last year. Weve now got additional grants because its been recognized that this is a viable housing solution, even for the homeless population, then its a win win for everybody. Sheila peterson has leased two homes to the share program. It gets people off the streets. They get a place to live. We get people in our homes. You know, obviously, this is our rentals. So, you know, everybody wins. Oh, steve. Oh, is it your friend for cynthia . Sandra and georgia having new friends and a place to call home is real. And i feel i feel like its family. And thats what we need. Someone that cares. You feel like this is your home . Yeah. This is my home in rohnert park, cornell barnard, abc seven news.

Im larry beal. Thanks to larry. Happening today, the rare annual Solar Eclipse will pass by parts of the western us, including here in the bay area. If you look up at the sky around 930 this morning, youll see about 70 of the sun covered by the moon. At least theoretically you will. But its known as the ring of fire. Experts recommend you look through special eclipse glasses or by using the shade from trees. The eclipse starts at around 8 a. M. As the moon blocks the sun during its orbit. Its expected to last three hours. So lets turn to meteorologist lisa argen now. Lisa, are we expected to see much of that eclipse here in the bay area . Well, you know, the early call was no and still right now, no really because of the cloud cover, we are so cloudy out there. But as you said, it starts at 805 and then total darkness at about 920. So despite the cloud cover, its going to get dark out there. And it ends at 1042. So unless youre in the San Joaquin Valley , id say bakersfield or fresno, a lot of clouds around much of california. Unfortunately and due to the cloud cover, we have some sprinkles. In fact, a weak front pulling through the north bay, but not amounting to much. But if you look at mount tam, upper elevations, certainly picking up on a few sprinkles, maybe sonoma county, it is 60 in San Francisco, 62 in oakland, 61, mountain view, san jose, 59, palo alto and Half Moon Bay. And a look at our sutro tower camera. It is cloudy and by the afternoon maybe a few peeks of sun. But sunnier in the east bay and south bay. 59 Santa Rosa Novato 58. Livermore was 62. Napa, fairfield and 60 in concord. So our pier 39 camera confirming the cloud cover the Golden Gate Bridge there in the distance. So we have the sprinkles this morning. The clouds today partly sunny in the afternoon. The clouds linger through your sunday and then as we get to that warmer sunday afternoon, well have a cooler monday. But after that, its all about a big, big warm up. So a couple of sprinkles dotting the landscape. Not a big deal throughout the afternoon. East bay sun, south bay, sun, even the north bay brightening up a bit, but more cloud cover pushing through your sunday, sunday afternoon. Were warmer. We are partly sunny, so well get some sun again. But by monday, here comes another system. Unfortunately not going to make it far south, but we have had a little bit of rain here. So certainly some good news. But as we dry out the next couple of days, we certainly will be elevating our fire danger. Monday is one of the cooler days with partly sunny skies in the afternoon. Heres a look at the week ahead where well see upper 70s today in livermore low 80s tomorrow dropping off the numbers monday with that cold front and then 83 tuesday with numbers in the upper 80s to low 90s on thursday and the warming trend making its way all the way to San Francisco and the coast. So were cool near or below average. The first few days of the upcoming workweek. And then by wednesday and thursday, its all about near 80 and low 80s downtown. So that gives you an idea of how warm were going to be. 72in oakland today, mostly cloudy to start out 75 in fremont. Then well thin out that cloud cover with 75 in san rafael, the pumpkin festival could see partly sunny conditions and that early chance of showers more like a little bit of drizzle out there otherwise well look for a warmer sunday with mid 80s inland upper 70s bayshore and a chance of showers late in the day on monday. But once again missing most of us and then that warm up tuesday, wednesday, thursday, our warmest day and staying warm for friday. So were going to just keep it october lake, keep it october lake. So disappointing that we wont be able to see much of that eclipse, though. Yeah, i know some family members that are already geared up for its clear now we have streaming nowadays so we can see it that way, right. A lot of us and we will be streaming it.
